HerWave can be performed sitting, standing, or laying down. Unlike other acoustic wave machines HerWave is nearly silent. It does not create jarring sounds that will frighten other people at home.
We recommend that a water-soluble lubricant be applied to the area prior to use. This will help to facilitate the HerWave tip gently gliding over the surface, and acts as coupling agent to facilitate transmission of the shock wave.
Most patients will find the treatment to be pleasant and calming. For those that have heightened sensitivity, 5% Lidocaine jelly (which does not require a prescription) is readily available at drug stores. We also make both the water-soluble lubricant and Lidocaine jelly available on our website.
The device should be fully charged prior to use. With our premium battery that is included in each unit, each charge will last for multiple applications. The device is easily powered on by depressing the button at the bottom of the unit. Pressing the button a second and third time will sequentially increase the frequency.
Following treatment there are no particular restrictions, other than to not engage in sexual activity the day of the treatment. Patients who are taking pde5-inhibitors may continue this practice. Patients may not receive maximum benefit from the HerWave treatments for 3 months or longer, and it would not be unusual for patients to continue to require medications particularly during the early weeks of treatment. Similarly, patients may continue to use injections, although not on the same day as treatment.
Not all patients will be able to discontinue the use of medications, injections, or vacuum devices. Some patients may notice that their desires are better than they were previously, but they may still need additional support.
HerWave knows that sexual dysfunction is a sensitive issue, and we want everyone who purchases any of our products to get the best possible outcome. We stand by our products. Please contact us with any concerns or questions during normal office hours.
